My daughter always loved hearts. At an early age she started using a heart in her signature. At one point I collected hearts to make her a necklace full of hearts. I felt this heart represented a real heart. I was right, she loved it. Her daughter and son are already fighting for it to be passed down to them. She has always had my heart and this was a real representation of my heart that I was finally able to give her, because she has always had my heart.

I absolutely love this pendant. I was very pleased with the actual craftsmanship of the heart itself- very minute details and no sloppy mold marks. I find it very unique and incredibly powerful to wear.

This was presented to my wife who is an imaging technician in a cardiology department, and was truly appreciated! Anatomical accuracy was important, and I was pleased with the artist's attention to detail. This pendant is a beautiful way to improve upon the simplified heart shape we are all familiar with, and represents beyond doubt that it presented "from the heart".

I had open heart surgery just over two years ago, so felt justified in the purchase. Looks great, love it and wear it with pride. The reason for only four stars-the chain. It's too flimsy for the large pendant, but fortunately, I had the perfect one to wear it on.
